History
In 1887, a post office was established under the name Fairbrook near the Tadpole School in Ferguson Township. Fairbrook was the last station on the western half of the Lewisburg and Tyrone Railroad, subsequently the Fairbrook Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1929, the Bellefonte Central Railroad built a five-mile extension from Struble to Fairbrook, and acquired the line from Fairbrook to Stover. The line was shut down at the beginning of the Great Depression in 1933.
Ramblewood first appeared on the United States census as a census-designated place in 2000 with a population of 983. The name Fairbrook is still retained for a 29-acre park.
